THE ULTIMATE BETRAYAL

What happens when you’re betrayed by someone you trust? Today, we'll talk with people whose lives have been shattered because of an ultimate betrayal. Melinda's husband, Clarence, was accused of killing her mother and attacking her daughter Brooke. After her father was given a life sentence, Melinda knew the only way to clear his name was to start her own investigation to find the real killer. Years later, and with advances in forensics, she was able to prove his innocence. Paul was a happy father until his daughter, Britny, was found dead. A toxicology report came back and confirmed the worst, that Britny was poisoned. Britny was betrayed by her own mother who had allegedly been giving her drugs. Cheryl was allegedly molested and raped by her own father for years. She recently wrote a book recalling how he would come home and tell her he had been out committing heinous crimes. Dr. Peter Favaro will help us understand what could drive a person to betray a loved one.
